Rear Driveshaft Bolts Came Out Tight

Putting in a one piece driveshaft. When removing the six rear driveshaft bolts, they came out tight. I know they had locktight on them, but so did the front bolts, and they came out with no issues. The new DS came with a tap to clean out the bolt holes, but I am skeptical about running the tap through in fear of screwing up the threads. Has anyone else had this issue?

Yes, the rear six come out tight because of the excess locktite Ford puts on them.
